Workers receive free tickets to return to hometown for TetFor the last 14 years, Le Thi Quyen from Ha Tinh Province did not return to her hometown for Tet holiday because she did not have enough money to travel. “But this year, we’re so happy to receive free tickets donated by the province’s labour union and Binh Duong authorities,” she added. Quyen is among thousands of migrant workers who have received free tickets and Tet gifts from the trade unions in three southern provinces and HCM City. The government of HCM City and the management board of industrial parks and export processing zones have given 37,000 workers travel tickets and Tet gifts. Aside from 20,000 free tickets given to migrants to return to their hometowns, the province’s worker support programmes have donated 500,000 gifts to another 140,000 workers who have decided to stay near their workplace during Tet.
